A friend of mine is vacationing in the Virgin Islands and sent me a few texts this morning. He sent a pic of himself with Rashawn at lunch. I haven't gotten to call him yet and get details but when I asked what they talked about, he texted that the band is going into the studio January 2nd to start recording the next album.

I had previously heard February but the earlier the better.

So, I guess the fact that they're just twiddling their thumbs on 1/1 isn't wasting time....

nice to hear they're going in (supposedly), although that doesn't mean we're going to get anything any time soon.

1/1 is purely for hangover recovery purposes, everyone has something to do that day.

It's going to be Cavallo. I can't see why they would change.

Whether they go to record an album or not, you're still an idiot. One has nothing to do with the other.

I could definitely see them changing it up. Each of their last five records have been produced by a different person.

The difference between this, Everyday, Busted Stuff, and Stand Up is that Big Whiskey was met with favorable responses and reactions from the band, the fans, critics and sales.

Everyday had huge financial success, but did not sit well with the fans. Busted Stuff was to just get something out there for the Lillywhite Sessions, Stand Up flopped among fans.

So, will there be an annoucement for the Summer 2012 tour incl. "the studio news" to hype the tour a little bit more?

I am pretty sure I have seen Stefan tweeting about some new bass lines/ideas he has been brewing up. I am sure they all have been tinkering around on their break.

I just really hope if they do produce another album, to take their fucking time and not rush. Cause I think that may've happened with BW.

I'm not worried about them musically, this unit can produce some absurdly good musical tracks, but I worry about Dave lyrically. He's gotta be comfortable with the lyrics before he's comfortable enough to release an album.

You kidding? It's the first album the refused to meet the record companies deadline for. The specifically made it clear they were taking their time with that album, and they did.
